THE VALLEY OF THE SUN YMCA’S IMPACT IS FELT EVERY DAY ACROSS ARIZONA.

At the Y, strengthening our community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, and when a community comes together for the common good. We help youth, adults, and families from all walks of life reach their goals and contribute to solutions that improve communities. We believe that goodness truly begins here at Valley of the Sun YMCA.

I am excited about how much our Y is doing. From the addition of a Korean Swords class, itty bitty ballet, starting a partnership with Student Choice High School, to working with the city of El Mirage to offer swim lessons to 4th-grade students. We have been growing programs and strengthening the foundation of our community.
